Barge assistant rod saver

ABSTRACT

Losing your best/favorite reel and rod while fishing, is devastating. I have lost a few. I have observed other fishermen losing reels and rods also due to fish pullover. The fish were literally taking our reels and rods. I said, “There has to be a solution.” I began experimenting with many items from boat holders to bungee cords; from hard materials to soft materials and spikes to rope tees. Nothing worked until I put together The Barge Assistant Rod Saver. The Barge Assistant Rod Saver consists of: a hook, link chain, screws, washers, holding nut and a round weight. This was designed to prevent immediate rod pullover on a fish initial strike. The results were astonishing. The Barge Assistant Rod Saver allowed me time to get to my fishing rods before losing them. I have not lost a rod as a result of using The Barge Assistant Rod Saver.

BACKGROUND

There were trial and errors trying to prevent rods from being pulled into the water. Other Rod Savers researched were basic rod holders.

While fishing I tried rubber, string, wood, bungee rope etc. finally I was successful using link chain with a hook and round weights secured to the rod.

SUMMARY

Properly assemble combination of the saver hook, securing screw nut, chain, holding nut and the washer holding screw; then attach to the rod which will surely assist the fishermen in securing his rod.
